mParticle shares their Journey from Apache Cassandra to ScyllaDB at DB Month Meetup

At the NoSQL & NewSQL Database Meetup held at the AWS Loft in NYC, mParticle shared their experience transitioning from Apache Cassandra to ScyllaDB to handle their vast data processing needs, which include managing 50 billion monthly messages and a data volume of 150TB added to Amazon S3. Initially using Apache Cassandra for its high read and write throughput and scalability, mParticle encountered challenges such as costly commercial support, performance issues, and the need for extensive human resources for maintenance. ScyllaDB's compatibility with Apache Cassandra allowed mParticle to switch without any code changes, providing them with a more efficient solution due to its lower latency, better self-tuning capabilities, and responsive support team, which was praised for their expertise and dedication. The transition was seamless, with no service disruptions, and resulted in improved performance with ScyllaDB's enhanced throughput and lower compaction backlog.
